A Blessing.

Nothing adds more to the security of
life, of happiness, and of health, than safe
and reliable family medicine. s. L. R. has
won for itself the appellation of "the
family blessing" If child has the Collie,
it is sure, safe and pleasant. If the father
is exhausted, oyerIorked, deSilitated, il
will restore his failing strength. If the wife
suffers from Dyspepsia, Low Spirits, Head
ache, it will give relief. If any member of
the family has eaten anything hard TO di-
gest, a dose of the Regulator will soon es-
tablish good digestion. 1t gives refreshing
sleep, even in cases where narcotics have
failed. 1t is preventive, perfectly HARM
less to begin with, no matter what the at
tack it viii afford relief. No error to be
feared in administering; no injury from ex-
posure after taking; no change of diet re-
quired; no neglect of duties or loss of time.
Simmons Liver Regulator is entirely yege-
table, and is the purest and best family
medicine compounded. J. H. Zeilin & Co.,

The Situation I'm fhe Commons on the
'Times'' Charges.
Record Uaion's .Specidf Csbls7ydm- CoD,Tigb,eJ
by He Nelg YosS Tribune
LONDON, May 5th.-The Government is
probably by this time aware that they have
made mistake in dealing with the Times
charges against the Parneilites. Whether
they are technically right cT wrong in hold
ing it not to be a matter of privilege, they
are regarded as hopelessly wrong. If
the question be considered merely
as one of fair dealing, the
Times, while protesting per-
feet readiness and confidence in its abil-
Ity to prove The charges before any tribu-
nal whatever, supports the Ministry in de-
elining the Parliamentary trihanal. But
the Governments own leading Journal con-
demns them unsparingly, and ridicules as
q make-shift their proposal to lend the At
torneyGeneral to the Parnellites as their
prosecutor. That course, says the .g,ard1yd.
is neither practicable nor iustiiable. III
is not practical, because it is known the
Irish could refuse; and ii is not justifiable
because no public otfense has been COM
nlltted. a subsequent Oifer to let the Irish
choose their own counsel and solicitors did
not much mend matters The Irish could
do that without the help or permission of
the Government.
What has damaged the Parnelites with
the English public has been their refusal
to take proceedings for libel against the
Times. The English said that Par
nell and his colleagues had
sat down under charges intolerable to
honorable men. They never pleaded their
they had not money enough to pay for
the luxury of the law, so the Governments
offer to bear the expenses of q trial
is no boon. As things stand there is a
deadlock. The Government offer what the
Irish do not want, and the Irish demand
what the Government profess to be unable
to concede. To bring the printer of the
Times to the bar of the House would not
advance anybody's interest. If his charges
were an otfense against the privilege, prov

The Lamars Decline to Meet the Queen
Because of Her Color.
CHICAGO, May 5th.-The Duly Ne,cs'
Washington special says: The town is full
OF rumors of Cabinet dissensions over the
entertainment of the Queen of the Hawa-
iian Islands. A Senator is my authority
Tor the story that Secretary Lamar will de-
cline to attend the dinner 10 be given in her
Majesty honor by the President, and the
story finds some. corroboration in the alb.
sence OF Mrs. Lamar from the Presidents
party this afternoon when Mrs Cleveland
received the Queen and her party, and when
she returned the Queens ceremonious visit
she was accompanied by all the ladies of
the Cabinet except Mrs Lamar.
The Senator says that the Secretary of the
Interior told him that his wife had never
called on negro, and she never would.
And what is more, he said that the Secre-
tary of the Interior had asked to be excused
from the State dinner in honor of her Maj
esty, as neither himself nor his wife were
in the habit of dining with negroes. whether
they We're kings, queens or knaves.
The Senator justified the attitude of the
Secretary, and said that if he were in the
Cabinet he would ign before he would
sit down to the same table with the Queen
THE OLD CLASS PREJUDICE.
Black is black" he said, mo matter
whose hide it is, and when Mr. Lamar was
invited into the Cabinet he did not enter
into contract to dine with every negro
Queen that came along. There is no man
from the South, in public life, who has ex-
pressed more sympathy for the colored race
in their struggle for position and intelli-
gence than Secretary Lamar He has ad-
dressed the students at the colored colleges;
has assisted the colored young to get an
education; has done much to encourage
others, and in his treatment of the colored
employees who were in the Interior Depart
ment when he was appointed as its head,
be has been not only fair, but generous.
But the idea is, social distinction was born
and bred in him, and while he will meet
the negro in business, in politics and in
other forms of association, be cannot come
down to social equality, no matter whether
the person of color is of royal blood or
bears the chains of servituden
1t is scarcely possible that he will carry
his. prejudice to such a conspicuous extreme
as 1t is reported he will but, as l say, a

BAKERSFIELD, May 5th.-The Coroner's
jury in the case Of r. NJ. Siebert finished
their investigation last night The docu-
